American guitarist Adam Kossler plays Schlummerlied by Austrian/Slovenian composer Hugo Wolf (1860–1903), known for his lieder (art songs).Transcription by Adam Kossler. Audio and Video by the amazing Canadian guitarist/audio-visual wizard Drew Henderson. The Wiki description of Wolf’s life, poor guy but classic depressing story as lieder composers go: “Though he had several bursts of extraordinary productivity, particularly in 1888 and 1889, depression frequently interrupted his creative periods, and his last composition was written in 1898, before he suffered a mental collapse caused by syphilis.” Beautiful playing by Adam Kossler. His clear, clean playing, and very musical phrasing makes for a beautiful performance. Nice arranging too.
This is such a beautiful piece performed so perfectly. Thank you for posting this. As I’m sure you have received many, many inquiries about this, so, I would like to add my request for information about the possible availability of sheet music of this lovely arrangement.
Again, thank you so much for keeping the passion for presented such a wealth of talent keeping the Guitar so strong and invigorating.
